I am an aficionadoof fine box art, it is known. And this is an ever-growing collection of damn fine box art.
Cool Box Art is a Twitter account run by @TheSonicMole and @87th, which collects the finest examples of packaging art (and posters) in video game history and dumps them back onto the internet a few times a day.
The key to the quality of the collection is the scope: there are old computer games and European versions of covers, along with a heavy dose of Japanese box art, which is only fitting because Japanese box art is usually the best
Some highlights are below, but you can check out their full listings here
